I just purchased and installed the scion fog lights on my tC. When I called before I ordered them. I spoke with Ken and asked if the fog lights turn on with out any other lights. He said yes but it's not true or is it? My fog lights only come on when you turn on the low beams and that's it. I would like to have the fog lights on without low beams having to be on. Kinda like using the fog lights for day time running lights. Is it possible to do something with the wiring so the fog lights fucntion independent??

I believe you can, but you have to do some creative wiring to have that functionality.

Interesting, mine don't require lo-beams to be on for the fog lights to be on...

Did you set up your lights as listed in the instructions. I'm thinking it has something to do with the relay in the fuse box. Also how did you get all the c-clips in the grill. Those were a pain in the a**

you will have to add an auxillary 12v line from the battery or another constant 12v source to a switch in your dash then tie back into the wiring harness at the turn on terminal for the relay. That would allow you dual functionality. You could use them the way they work now but also you could turn off the regular switch and use the new one to turn them on and off whenever you want. But be careful if you do this because I'm fairly certain that the main power run to the relay on that kit is constant so if you turn your car off and forget the new switch on it would leave the fog lights on and it would drain your battery.

I try that set up, thanks for the 411
